BDP CC drops Dikoloti from the party race

The constituency has consequently been handed over to the Minister of Finance, Peggy Serame, the losing parliamentary primary candidate, reversing the decision for a re-run and further deepening tensions within the party. Dikoloti had won against Serame with a margin of 1, 700 votes, and the two were set for a highly-anticipated face-off that will never be. The BDP CC delegation delivered the unfortunate news to Dikoloti and the lower party structures in Goodhope yesterday.

Still reeling in shock over this week’s developments, Dikoloti was informed that he had been dropped from the race and urged to cooperate with the committee’s preferred candidate. He was asked to assist Serame with the daunting task of securing victory for the party with the national polls just a month away.
